Killer mindset may have kept UNC from Final Four

Posted Apr 3, 2015
All of the coaches here in the Final Four have killers. North Carolina coach Roy Williams? Not so much. “I think we have it in us,” UNC forward Kennedy Meeks said. “I don't know if I can say, like, we have that killer. I don't think we do,” UNC freshman Joel Berry II said. And that may have had something to do with why the Tar Heels, with their talent and size, weren't able to advance from Sweet 16. (Durham Herald-Sun)
